Chapter 634 A Familiar Taste, the Taste of a Rebellious Son
Jia Xu did not obtain the news about the Central Plains through normal channels.
He had his own channels. This old poisoner... had followed too many masters, so naturally he had a hundred minds.
Especially from Sili to Guanzhong, he had eyes in many places.
It was also because of this that Jia Xu knew the situation in Luoyang in advance before the fast horses from Chang'an arrived.
——Luoyang was lost!
——The emperor was lost...
When such news came into his eyes and entered his mind, at this moment... Jia Xu, who was an old man in the world, could not help but change his face suddenly.
Horrible.
So terrifying!
Jia Xu almost took a breath of cold air.
Once upon a time, he was sent to the Western Front by Cao Cao. He would never dream that the situation on the Western Front was not yet clear, but the situation on the Central Plains had collapsed.
It collapsed completely!
The collapse came in an instant, and there was no room for maneuver.
So now.
Huh…
Accompanied by a heavy exhalation, Jia Xu couldn't help but sweat coldly.
This is sweating all over!
Now, the pressure…has all been given to the battlefield on the western front!
This is not the most terrible thing. What Jia Xu cares about most is that most of the troops…Xiahou Heng and Cao Zhen recruited in Yongliang will not be able to rush to Hanzhong for a while.
This is a division of troops under the circumstances, so…the troops in the local battlefield will inevitably be divided into two!
Why…
Suddenly, there is a sense of déjà vu that the tide has fallen and the building is about to collapse?
"Dad? Do you mean…Luoyang City has fallen? The emperor also…also…"
Without waiting for his son Jia Mu to open his mouth…
"Cough cough..." Jia Xu coughed violently, and the cough was violent.
"Dad...you..."
Jia Mu hurriedly went to help Jia Xu...
But Jia Xu stretched out his hand and waved, indicating that he was fine, "Don't say so much, don't ask so many questions, go back to Chang'an first, rush to Chang'an overnight, some things...must wait until I see the queen, and then discuss them!"
"Okay...Okay..."
Jia Mu hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that the carriage was coming.
But, when helping his father Jia Xu get on the carriage, Jia Mu had some doubts in his heart, "Dad? After the previous defeat, Liu Bei's army has already reached the foot of Dingjun Mountain. If you leave, what if they attack the mountain? What about the battlefield in Hanzhong?"
"Not only do I have to go back, soon...I'm afraid Xiahou Miaocai will have to rush to Chang'an after getting the news...As for the war in Hanzhong, it doesn't matter..."
Jia Xu said slowly, "Our eyes in Shuzhong have received accurate intelligence. Liu Bei is short of food...Over the years, Shuzhong has been in war, and the Shu army has It was to occupy Wakou, conquer Sanba, and attack Zitong, and even finally to Xiabiancheng. It can be said that he was a warlike man! "
"This time, Liu Bei dispatched more than 200,000 troops. The daily food consumption was not a small number. In order to collect food and grass, Zhuge Liang almost emptied the entire Chengdu! But even so, the food and grass of the Shu army was still stretched... Hehe, that Fa Zheng was very smart. If he didn't collect enough food for a hundred days, Liu Bei would dare to go to Dingjun Mountain! Fa Zheng would definitely persuade him to come down!"
According to Jia Xu's analysis.
If Liu Bei's army didn't go to Dingjun Mountain, it would just be a strategic stalemate, and both sides maintained a certain restraint and retreat.
Even if the food and grass were still not collected in the end, the army would withdraw at most, and the Shu army would not suffer any losses.
But if they went to Dingjun Mountain, they would be in a high position. As long as they killed and broke the defense line of the Wei army, the whole Hanzhong would be exposed to the weapons of the Shu army.
That was the decisive battle...
It was a decisive battle of advancing but not retreating, of dying but not living——
According to Jia Xu's investigation, the reason why Liu Bei had not climbed Dingjun Mountain and only stationed his troops at the foot of the mountain was that he was waiting...waiting for the delivery of food from Shu!
Waiting for Zhuge Liang to raise food...
But...the road to Shu was more difficult than climbing to the sky!
The food road was difficult to travel!
The food was difficult to raise!
Even Zhuge Liang was a good cook...Nowadays, he couldn't cook without rice!
This was one of the reasons why Jia Xu was fearless.
Through the carriage window, on Dingjun Mountain, he looked down at the Shu army camps that were densely packed for dozens of miles at the foot of the mountain.
Jia Xu sighed faintly and murmured at last.
"Let's go, set off, Chang'an——"
...
...
"Sir, Luoyang City is 20 miles ahead!"
As the sound of Mi Lu came from outside the carriage...Guan Lin couldn't help but open the curtain of the carriage and looked out the window.
The official roads were all brand new, and even the houses along the way had been renovated.
The entire Luoyang area was a brand new scene, as if it had not been affected by the incident in Luoyang City at all.
"It seems that Li Miao and the two young masters Pi and Zhi have built a good new city in Luoyang..."
"It seems that my father and my elder brother have not disturbed the people at all..."
As he spoke, Guan Lin couldn't help laughing.
Using Cao Cao's manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build a city for himself, and let the new city built by Cao Cao with great effort become the military fortress of their Jingzhou army!
Such things, no matter when you think about it, there will always be a sense of accomplishment.
"My father sent someone to send a message saying that he was meeting me outside the city, and asked the brothers to speed up and arrive in Luoyang before tonight!"
"Yes..."
Accompanied by Mi Lu's response.
Guan Lin's cavalry, like a winding dragon, continued to move towards Luoyang City in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The horses' hooves kicked up the billowing smoke, and the armors collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The entire team, although not many in number, somehow... looked both mighty and majestic.
At the same time, the gate of Luoyang City slowly opened. Guan Yu was wearing a green robe, a red face and a long beard. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was not in his hand. He stood there alone, quietly waiting for Guan Lin's arrival.
Guan Yu didn't like to make any noise. Even when the most respected Qilin'er arrived, he just ordered the other soldiers to perform their duties, and he was the only one to go out of the city to greet him!
Speaking of which, the last time I saw this son... was in Jiangdong, right?
Goodbye...it's been a few months again!
As soon as we said goodbye, the situation in the world changed and reversed again! The Han Dynasty's Sanxing... is right in front of you!
Just as Guan Yu was daydreaming...
A dusty figure galloped out of the city, leading a team of horses. It seemed that he didn't notice Guan Yu and took the lead to go up the official road.
Guan Yu could see clearly that it was Fu Shiren.
Seeing Fu Shiren leaving the city, Guan Yu seemed to have guessed where he was going?
And...his purpose!
"This guy... is actually more active than Guan!"
Guan Yu knew that Fu Shiren would have to go several miles out of the city to meet Guan Lin. He also knew what his Qilin meant to Fu Shiren.
This is not just the relationship between Ran Chengma's eldest brother and his third brother.
It is also the source and motivation for Fu Shiren to transform like a new person.
"Da da--"
Guan Yu sat down and his horse's hooves were a little restless, as if he wanted to gallop away.
On the contrary, it was Guan Yu. After a brief thought, he squinted his eyes, tightened the reins slightly, and then said to himself: "Let this good brother of Yun Qi go and be the father? Why fight with others?"
…
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Ten miles south of Luoyang, Fu Shiren's wanton laughter could be heard from a distance. "Third brother, do you think it's fun to be a brother... Your father is just waiting for you under the city gate, all alone, without any soldiers. What does this mean? Why... My third brother came to Luoyang to have a good time. Don't you want to give it to me? I don't know how his father is? How important is Luoyang City? I really don't know what your father is thinking about every day.
For a while, Fu Shiren blamed Guan Yu.
Standing next to Fu Shiren is naturally Guan Lin.
Speaking of which, Guan Lin didn't expect that his eldest brother would go thirty miles out of the city and take hundreds of people with him.
To be precise, they went to greet Guan Lin with hundreds of honor guards... drums were beaten, flags were raised, gongs and drums were noisy... and firecrackers were blasted.
What a pomp...
It’s full of pomp and circumstance!
Of course, Guan Lin understands his father Guan Yu. As for his father...it would be great if he could go out of the city alone to greet him. Unless the uncle comes, otherwise...beating drums, raising flags, and pomp and ceremony are simply impossible!
Thoughts on this…
Guan Lin said with emotion: "My father... haha, let's not talk about him... he is not worldly at all and boring... It's better for you, eldest brother! This is to give the younger brother enough face!"
As he spoke, Guan Lin slowly got off the carriage. He signaled the sound of gongs and drums around him to stop, and then asked Fu Shiren solemnly: "Brother... How is it in Luoyang City?"
"What can we do? Everything is fine..." The mention of this topic opened up Fu Shiren's chat box, and he couldn't help but exaggerate, "Yun Qi, you don't know... when we were cleaning Beimang Mountain ,I…"
Before Fu Shiren finished speaking, Guan Lin interrupted directly, "Brother... how is the emperor? My father... can you see the emperor? Is the emperor in charge of the court?"
just like…
Guan Lin didn't tell Fu Shiren how brave he was? How can he turn the tide and ask the most critical question directly.
Speaking of which, it has been two days since Luoyang City was captured. Normally... as the fire in Luoyang City is extinguished, everything will be back on track, and the emperor will come to court again.
Can…
In the recent emergency reports, it has been pointed out several times that the story... does not seem to be developing in the direction Guan Lin expected at all.
This is a bit meaningful.
Sure enough, when Guan Lin asked about the Emperor, Fu Shiren's expression suddenly darkened. He pursed his lips and sighed: "I don't know what's going on. It's been two days, but the Emperor still hasn't shown up. Some people say that he is hiding in the tunnel? But... your brother, I am thinking, this shouldn't be... Our Jingzhou Army or the Guan Army are originally a branch of the Han Army. Now we have conquered Luoyang and rescued the emperor. What are we doing? Still hiding, could it be that...the Emperor of Han lived more comfortably in that tunnel than in the palace..."
Fu Shiren was puzzled.
Of course, he was not the only one who was puzzled. The entire city of Luoyang, including the remaining Han officials, the Guan Family Army, and the Jingzhou Army were also confused.
And how could they know the inside story, that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty's desire for freedom far outweighed the pursuit of power.
Later generations also said - this is a humble house, but I am virtuous!
In the eyes of others, the dark tunnel is damp and miserable, but in His Majesty's eyes, it is green with moss marks on the steps, and the grass is as green as the curtains...Here is:
——For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away!
"Third brother..." Seeing Guan Lin deep in thought, Fu Shiren couldn't help asking: "Third brother? Do you know why the emperor is hiding in the tunnel and can't come out!"
"Probably...you know——"
Guan Lin groaned softly, his expression a little complicated.
Then, he clenched his teeth slightly, then turned around and headed in the direction of the carriage.
Fu Shiren hurriedly followed, pretending to follow Guan Lin into the carriage, but he did not forget to praise himself again as he walked, "Yunqi... you don't know how dangerous it was when I was clearing the battlefield in Beiman Mountain. ? As the saying goes, a centipede is not dead, but the remnants of those who were not burned to death actually resisted with all their might. There is also... there is also General Anton, who is against the Wei, but you don't know, he is very difficult to deal with. ah!"
As he spoke, Fu Shiren danced and gesticulated, "The general Wei Wei wielded his swords in all directions. He first moved the butterfly to make the sea, then the phoenix whirlpool, and then successively used the double swallow wings...the left double chopping knife. , the two horses parted their manes, knocked on the door with both hands, the white tiger blocked the road, and was surrounded on all sides... the dragon crossed the river... actually forced me to retreat steadily, and the dangers were everywhere..."
Well…
When Fu Shiren said this, Guan Lin had already walked to the carriage door.
Guan Lin was shocked by the tone of this good brother who was trying so hard to compile.
Fu Shiren...where did he learn so many idioms?
Fu Shiren's words continued, "I am about to lose, but when I think about it, who am I? I am your eldest brother in Guan Lin and Guan Yunqi. My third brother has plotted against Luoyang City. I am the eldest brother. How can he lose his reputation here? It's impossible...that's completely impossible!"
Fu Shiren danced even more energetically, "So, I used the ghost-destroying sword with one hand. I slashed horizontally and obliquely, turned around to sharpen the knife, stepped forward to lift the knife, lowered the knife, and carried the sword continuously...and then carried the sword continuously... Lower the chop knife, close the leg to chop knife, turn around to chop... turn back to stab, big chop knife, hanging knife, lifting knife, big lifting knife... Your brother and I will directly use this combination of knife skills, then... Anton from Wei Wei How could the general be an opponent? He was so overwhelmed by my momentum that he fainted... He is still lying in the hospital now!"
Well…
The more Fu Shiren talked, the more enthusiastic he became, but Guan Lin was confused.
He has seen... shameless ones, but never seen such shameless ones. Wasn't he just catching General Anton who rebelled against Wei? As for...are you trying to write a battle report as a novel? I'm sorry, are you thinking about the word count?
Just when Guan Lin wanted to interrupt Fu Shiren's exciting words.
Fu Shiren's last words were quite rude, which immediately caught his attention.
"Oh, I was thinking about my Fu Shiren's big sword not killing the unknown person, so I asked my men to check out the general Andong who was frightened by my momentum and fainted. Sure enough... he was an unknown person, his name was Jiang Yan... Three Brother, tell me, why would anyone give this name? My soldiers told me that after he fainted, he kept shouting...Boyo? What is Boyo? I've never heard of Boyo at all..."
It was these last few sentences, the word "Boyue", that made Guan Lin's speechless and choked expression change instantly.
In an instant, his face turned directly to Fu Shiren, his pupils showing surprise and disbelief!
Boyo...he knows this name very well, and he also knows the weight of this name!
Jiang Er...Jiang Boyue, isn't that Jiang Wei!
It is no exaggeration to say that most of those who are fans of Shu in the Three Kingdoms will also be fans of Jiang Wei...
——Follow the Prime Minister’s legacy and fight against the traitors who usurped the Han Dynasty;
——I will complete the unfinished business of the Prime Minister;
——I have a plan that can make the Han Dynasty quiet and bright again;
These sentences... were deeply engraved in Guan Lin's heart. Even in his previous life, for a period of time, Guan Lin was extremely obsessed with playing a Three Kingdoms game - The Legend of Jiang Wei!
It can be said that he was deeply impressed by this Tianshui Youlin.
As for Jiang Yan.
"Oh..." Guan Lin suddenly remembered.
This Jiang Wei is Jiang Wei's father... he serves as a meritorious officer in Tianshui.
It is no exaggeration to say that to be able to raise his son so well, Jiang Juan, as my father... must also have special skills and be a loyal person, right?
this…
Thinking of this, Guan Lin quickly said, "Where is this Jiang Juan? Is he okay?"
Obviously, in Guan Lin's sentence, the second half of "Is everything okay?" is more forceful, more urgent, and more solemn than the first half.
"No...it's okay..." Fu Shiren was a little confused.
What's going on here?
How could an unknown general who rebelled against the Wei Dynasty be treated so seriously by Guan Lin?
When Yun Qi planned to kill Lejin, remove Wenpin, kill Yu Ban, and destroy Pound, he didn't even blink or frown, but now... his brows are almost lowered to the corners of his eyes.
"Take me to him...now, now-"
Guan Lin used a commanding tone...
Fu Shiren felt that this was the coldest and most urgent sentence he had said since he met Guan Lin.
"What's going on?"
"Don't talk nonsense, just lead the way..."
"But... the medical center is at the West City Gate, but your father is still waiting for you at the South City Gate?"
"Then..." Hearing Fu Shiren's last sentence, Guan Lin paused slightly, and then waved his hand rather boldly, "It's okay...let my dad wait a little longer -"
Well... for a moment, when Guan Lin chanted the last sentence, Fu Shiren suddenly felt comfortable...
This feeling is so familiar.
yes…
It smells like a traitor!
…
…
The night was as dark as ink, and thick clouds obscured the light of the stars and the moon, leaving only a few weak torches on the city gate, swaying with dim yellow light.
Guan Yu stood alone by the city gate, his silver hair fluttering in the cold wind like an unyielding battle flag on the battlefield.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, but it was difficult to hide the anxiety and expectation in them.
The most common thing on his mind was - Why hasn't my Qilin arrived yet?
yes…
Guan Yu waited outside the South City Gate for two full hours. At night... the mountain wind howled towards Luoyang. The cold wind was like a thousand knives cutting through every inch of Guan Yu's skin, as if to peel off his flesh and bones.
His battle robe fluttered in the wind, as if whispering about the glorious years of the past.
However, no matter how biting the wind was, it could not match the coldness in his heart at this moment:
- He was waiting for the return of the Qilin child, but the familiar figure never appeared.
Time seemed to become unusually long at this moment. One hour after another passed, Guan Yu still stood like a pine, but the light in his eyes became dimmer.
He looked eagerly and kept searching for the familiar figure among the crowd entering the city, but each time ended in disappointment.
A bitter feeling surged in Guan Yu's heart, and he murmured to himself.
"Where is Guan's son? Did something unexpected happen?"
It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Lin alone now occupies more than half of Guan Yu's heart.
This is his pride, his hope, and the future and hope of the Han Dynasty.
Now that his son has not returned, his heart seems to be pierced by the cold wind, empty, with only endless waiting.
"Second General... It's time to close the city gate, Second General... Why don't you sit on the city tower and drink some hot tea..."
"Hu..." Guan Yu exhaled softly, "Close the gate a quarter of an hour later, Guan will wait a little longer..."
The guard didn't know that Guan Yu was waiting for his son alone, so he asked in confusion.
"Who is the second general waiting for?"
Guan Yu glanced at the guard and said truthfully without hiding it: "It's my son Yunqi..."
At this moment, the full of worry and love was written all over his face.
Ah…
The general was stunned, then he reached out and knocked his forehead, "That…that's strange. When the soldiers who changed guard at the west gate came here just now, they specifically told me that…they said that Master Yunqi had entered the city from the west gate…why…why did the second general wait at the south gate?"
Uh…Guan Yu's expression froze for a moment, the cold wind blew on his face, melting the stiffness on his face after being blown by the night wind, Guan Yu opened his mouth…wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say!
For a long time, his lips trembled, he reached out tremblingly, and chanted those four words that were too familiar to be true.
——"Rebellious son, rebellious son!"
